This was the second year in a row that a former Baltimore prep standout was drafted in the first round. Former Dunbar star Tavon Austin, a wide receiver from West Virginia, was selected eighth overall a year ago by the St. Louis Rams.

Fuller was a second-team Walter Camp All-American selection and a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection as a senior despite being limited to 24 tackles, two interceptions and 10 pass deflections as he was sidelined after undergoing sports hernia surgery.

Fuller was fully healthy by the NFL scouting combine after missing the Senior Bowl and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds in February.
